Tag: Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO)

South Africa’s long-awaited Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) system takes effect on 1 December 2025. It changes how every motorist and fleet operator manages traffic fines. We are warning drivers to prepare now for stricter unpaid fine penalties. Drivers must also be ready for the possibility of losing driving privileges under the new demerit system.
